That is wonderful. Not everyone agrees with you. What a great country! Am I right?

Once election integrity is ensured, the results will show that everyone always votes R. Virginia needs cyber ninjas to prove that Virginia is really a deep red state

I can't tell if trolling or just nuts anymore.

I am thinking just nuts! Probably not even a VA resident. Fingers crossed.

There's also those who hoped moderate Biden would cause the GOP to become normal again & compromise to reach middle positions, but that hasn't happened so they are disappointed.

I don't think a "43.5% approval" rating tells you the whole story. You need to look at why they disapprove and I bet a sizeable chunk of the "disapprove" is from folks who don't believe Biden has done enough.

New polling has Biden way lower that 43.5 percent.

It's not like he's likable at all or has a compelling personal story.

Agreed. McAuliffe is in trouble. He'll probably win, but it will be close.

I agree that this will be a close election and that McAuliffe will probably win with the help of Northern VA. This was not a good look yesterday though.

Maybe it’s a nut dropped from FL or Texas.

But see, I'm a normal average joe voter who doesn't keep up with things like approval ratings. If I hadn't read it here, I never would have known. Also, most normal average joes vote along party lines pretty strictly.

Biden's rating could be 25% and I would still never vote Youngkin over McAuliffe.

Biden’s approval rating would be a lot higher if Republicans in Congress had any interest in doing their job. Their only goal is obstructing the work and appointing judges. They won’t even agree to raise the debt ceiling to cover Trump’s spending.

Regardless, I don’t care about his rating for the VA election. Youngkin is fully in on trump’s plan to eliminate the integrity of our elections. Youngkin is fully in on stoking and fueling culture wars that are promoted in right wing media.

He is all wrong for VA and i hope Democrats turn out and Independents think of all the big issues at stake in protecting our democracy and our civility.

Yes blame everyone else for Biden's approval rating. He had a bipartisan win that is being held up by a Democrat run House. Give me a break. The in fighting between the two parts of the Democratic Party is to blame for this chaos. How about Democrats do their job since they are in charge of the White House, Congress and the Senate.

The way he pulled out of Afghanistan also his fault.

Independents in the new polling approve of Joe Biden in the 30 percent range.

That would be your choice. But Youngkin's rising support is correlated with Biden's declining ratings, and the decline in Biden's support seems to reflect concerns over Biden's inability to get things done.

Since McAuliffe's main pitch as a candidate isn't that he has a fresh vision or is a unifier (he clearly is not the latter, and his campaign surrogates are Lee Atwater-level nasty), but that he has experience and can get things done, Biden's challenges drag down McAuliffe.

The biggest knock I see with McAuliffe is that anything wrong with Virginia now is his fault or Northams. He talks about Virginia teachers being paid lowest of all 50 states. Well, his team has been in charge for 8 years. Yes, Northam just passed a raise but what about the other 7 years. And crime is high. I don’t have a love for Youngkin but there are issues with Virginia that McAuliffe and Northam haven’t solved and they have been in charge.

Interested to hear who you’re referring to.

The Democrats got hoisted by their own petard when they suggested the election of Ossoff and Warnock in Georgia was going to usher in Democrats who'd ensure the rapid adoption of Biden's domestic agenda. Instead, we've all watched the various factions of the Democratic Party fight with each other.

That's what people see from Democrats now on a daily basis; meanwhile, Youngkin comes in as an amiable outsider crafting a message that is primarily centrist in orientation. Of course he looks good next to McAuliffe, who combines the worst of the Clinton era with today's unsavory blend of CRT-infused pandering.

No, you're not, and if some of them were named they'd get the posts deleted in a hot second.

No way vá teachers are lower paid than Kansas or Mississippi.

Is that true?
